Biography
Yehuda Glick was born in the United States on 20 November 1965 in the United States to an Orthodox Jewish family, and he immigrated to Israel when he was a child. He became a controversial rabbi who preached for the Jewish ownership of the Temple Mount (known to Muslims as the "Al-Aqsa Mosque" or "Divine Sanctuary") and protested against the denial of people dressed in overly-religious clothing into the mosque for worship. On 29 October 2014, while giving a speech, Glick was shot by Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) member Mutaz Hijazi three times, and Israeli police later killed Hijazi. Glick was hospitalized, and the Israeli government only allowed men 50 years or older and women to enter the mosque, prompting Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas to say that the closure of the Al-Aqsa Mosque was an Israeli declaration of war against the Palestinian people. Glick's shooting was one of the major incidents of the Silent Intifada, which began in mid-2014 when Hamas killed three Israeli teens, the Israelis invaded the Gaza Strip in Operation Protective Edge, and two Palestinian teens were killed while launching terror attacks (a 17-year-old killed after hitting a three-month old Israeli girl and 1 14-year-old American-Palestinian citizen who attempted to throw a Molotov Cocktail at Israeli soldiers, both in Jerusalem).
